Mark and I use Tommy’s Landscaping. 510-207-8623 He has helped us install our lawn (front and back) and shrubbery surrounding our yard and now maintains it with weekly mowing and tree trimming on occasion. We really like him and think that his prices are reasonable. Quotes are always free.

Good Luck,

Sam Reynoso has been doing our yard for years. He does many others in Niles as well and two other houses on our block. He comes every week, rain or shine without fail, except Christmas, and other holidays. His phone number is 510-792-6558.

Not Sam

We had a very bad experience with Sam Reynoso with some electrical work he and his crew did with our automatic sprinkler system. When we questioned him about it he quit the job (left it unfinished) and without even the courtesy of calling us, he stopped his sons crew from doing our weekly maintenance (his son Aldo we would have recommended). When we called to find out why we had not had anyone maintaining our garden, he said he would ask Aldo and then he never called back!!

His unprofessional attitude and lack of courtesy would not allow us to give him any recommendation!

Well, I have to respectfully disagree. Our experience was different. He also put in our sprinkler system, adjusted it as necessary and it continues to work fine now. That was some number of years ago. He has come regularly and reliably for at least five years. His sons are also very nice. He has also pruned my trees without requesting extra money, drove all the way to my mother's house in San Carlos as a favor to us to do her yard, put up wires for our wisteria and will try to please to the best of his ability.

I would NOT recommend Sam. He pruned my apricot tree without being asked and did it soo wrong that I have been fighting it ever since.

His crew does my neighbor's house and thinks that blowing his leaves into my yard constitutes cleaning his yard.

Another neighbor discontinued his services due to poorly trimmed lawn and bushes.
